FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket is designed to be water-repellent, meaning it resists light rain and moisture effectively. It is not intended for use in heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to significant rainfall.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket features a packable design. Typically, it can be folded and stored into one of its own pockets or an integrated pouch. Look for a small pocket with a double-sided zipper or an internal loop that allows the jacket to be compressed into a compact form.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, its lightweight and water-repellent features make it suitable for other outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or as a light windbreaker. Its classic aesthetic also allows for casual wear in mild, wet conditions.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester fibers, reflecting Nike's commitment to sustainability.
How should I wash my Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, do not bleach, and tumble dry low. Do not iron or dry clean to preserve the fabric's integrity and water-repellent properties.
Does the hood provide good coverage?
Yes, the integrated hood is designed to offer ample coverage for your head, helping to shield you from wind and light rain during your runs.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less water-repellent over time.
This is normal as the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Consider using a DWR-specific wash-in product or a DWR spray designed for outerwear to reactivate or restore the water repellency.
Jacket feels too warm or not breathable during intense runs.
The jacket provides weather protection, which can inherently reduce breathability compared to a very thin, non-protective layer. For high-intensity runs in warmer conditions, consider layering with a highly breathable base layer. If temperatures are consistently warm and humid, this jacket may be best reserved for cooler, wet conditions.
Jacket is difficult to pack into its designated storage space.
Ensure the jacket is fully dry before attempting to pack it. Practice folding it neatly, starting with the sleeves and then rolling or folding the main body into the designated pocket or pouch. A consistent folding method will make it easier to pack efficiently.

Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Using a gentle cycle is recommended.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the water-repellent finish.

- Drying: Tumble dry low. Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the fabric and its water-repellent coating.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
